Sesame Rice Noodle Stir-fry with Veggies and Tofu

We’ve reached the end of March, which means it’s the end of National Noodle month- I’ve been sharing deliciously awesome noodle recipes all month long! Check them out here, here, here, and here. I’m a big fan of noodles so I have really been enjoying all these recipes 🙂 This recipe is my favourite of them all. I love a good stir-fry and this Sesame Rice Noodle Stir-fry with Veggies and Tofu is exactly that. Tons of flavour, veggies, tofu, all on top of noodles- perfection!

One of my favourite dishes to cook is a stir-fry. I love it because I can wing it and just throw in any veggies I’ve got with some soy sauce and sesame oil, cook for a few minutes, and add in some noodles or rice and voila! Dinner is ready 🙂 It’s what I make when I’m tired and don’t feel like searching for a recipe or I’m short on ingredients. It’s faster than ordering takeout and you can add in lots of veggies. I’m sometimes disappointed when I go to a restaurant and get a veggie and noodle stir-fry that just has a few shreds of cabbage in it. This recipe has so many veggies in it that I had to switch to my large pot to cook them because I only have a medium-size pan in my dorm room!

If you’re gluten-intolerant, this recipe is perfect for you 🙂 rice noodles don’t have any gluten! Swap the soy sauce for tamari, which is very similar but gluten-free, and you’ve got a delicious dinner!
